European Technology Platform for Wind Energy – TPWind

The European energy market is driven by a growing number of factors, ranging from the impacts of climate change, the depletion of oil and gas, the high costs and the unpredictable supply of fuel, and the prices of CO2 allowances. A strong wind energy sector does not only mean reduced CO2, cleaner air, and secure biodiversity but also sustainable economic growth, reduced dependence on energy imports, high quality jobs, technological development, global competitiveness and European industrial and research leadership.
